Description

Ages: 12-22Grades: 7-Adult

Use a narrative therapy approach and familiar routines to teach speech and language skills to teens and adults with developmental disabilities, autism, and/or English as a second language.

These language intervention lessons teach clients how to generate narratives while focusing on listening, expression, vocabulary, grammar, and conversation skills. The materials use a strategy similar to the Teaching Tales model used with clients with autism (Blank, McKirdy, & Payne, 1997). This approach lets you target a variety of speech and language skills based on client need.

The book has 25 age-appropriate lessons about functional routines in the home including grooming, preparing meals, and cleaning. Each lesson consists of a four-part picture sequence (i.e., a routine) and a corresponding page of language stimuli. Three levels of language stimuli allow you to easily adapt the lesson to your client's needs:

  • Beginnertwo or three simple sentences per routine
  • Intermediatethree or four sentences per routine, more complex grammar, and sequence words like first and next
  • Advancedfour or five sentences per routine, more complex grammar, sequence words, and mental states such as thoughts, feelings, desires, and perceptions

Every lesson uses a sequence of:

  • activate prior knowledge
  • listen to the story (routine)
  • story (routine) comprehension questions
  • retell the story (routine) with and without pictures
  • extension task
